Had a couple of life changes recently, which has resulted in me doing a fresh start all over so I'm currently cleaning up/getting ready to move house. While I was cleaning up, I found these that must of been on my desk for years, given to me by my grandfather, buried under endless amounts of shit that we all accumulate. He told me they were both made by the Aussie soldiers in Egypt. They melted down various shells, made the casts in the sand and poured them. They obviously had a fair bit of time on their hands as they have done a pretty good job and really perfected it. They are fairly well detailed for what they are.
The small plane is a made of brass, the second I am not too sure what it could be made of. I know it is a Spitfire on top of Australia, which is actually concave, intended to be used a cigar or pipe ashtray (which it now is

Cheers,
